Five Guys Burgers & Fries

The hand-formed burgers and fresh-cut fries at this wildly popular Virginia-based chain are good enough to counter the painful combo of office-bright lighting, stark white-and-red decor and kitschy sacks of potatoes scattered about. Burgers are juicy, double-patty affairs that can be ordered with all manner of gratis toppings (grilled ’shrooms and onions, A-1 sauce, even jalapeños). Perfectly crispy fries come piping hot in their own paper bag, regular or Cajun-style (just a sprinkling of Old Bay).
